Born today, you are quite eager to take advantage of all opportunities presented to you -- not so that you can excel and enjoy the rewards, but so that you can learn from them and improve yourself, inside and out, professionally and personally, over the years. Self-analysis is quite important to you. You think about yourself, your endeavors and your place in the world quite often, and you are never completely satisfied with your standing. This is not because you do not appreciate all that you have and all that you are, but rather because you believe that to be human is to be flawed.
You may rub some people the wrong way, but this is more a reflection of them than of you, and you do not take it to heart. You are not one to let another's criticism of you get you down -- and you appreciate the honest opinions others have of you, so long as they are supported by fact. Simple dislike is not something you can take very seriously.
Also born on this date are: Mike Myers, actor; Sir Ian McKellen, actor; Frank Oz, director; Anne Heche, actress; Cillian Murphy, actor; Ralph Waldo Emerson, writer and philosopher; Dixie Carter, actress; Leslie Uggams, actress; Karen Valentine, actress; Connie Sellecca, actress; Claude Akins, actor.
